    How being connected and aligned with your true self will help you lead well, communicate meaningfully, and create success on your terms with Debra Shepherd

    Life, business and the world move fast and it’s easy to lose the connection with ourselves and end up burning out. Piling more onto your plate and losing the connection in the process. When you’re in this space, you can’t lead yourself or others well, communicate meaningfully, or create sustainable success.  There are many different ways and tools that you can use to reconnect, and I’m so excited to share a really great one with you with thanks to Debra Shepherd! Debra uses Human Design as a tool to help herself and others reconnect back to themselves and get into alignment with their true self. She believes that when you show up as yourself, you naturally increase your influence, attract the right people, build stronger relationships, and create the impact you're here to make.  This conversation is an invitation to all leaders, business owners and entrepreneurs to pause, create space, and to reconnect back to themselves so they can focus on what is the best fit for them and let go of the rest. When you're connected and aligned, you can experience more ease, flow, meaning, stillness, and fulfilment in your life and business.  Less complexity and more simplicity! --- Get Debra's  Aligned Leader Scorecard: https://debra-shepherd-liquid-mango-consulting.kit.com/6d57ae5e92 --- Listen to Marissa & Deb’s first chat on The Debra Shepherd Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/217-how-to-simplify-your-business-for-more-income-and/id1499585342?i=1000778104531 --- Follow Deb on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_debrashepherd LinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/debra-shepherd Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/debra1shepherd---Follow Marissa on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marissarobertsofficial YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@marissaroberts Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesimplerbusinesspodcast/ --- Ready to simplify your business?

    How to turn one idea into 12 pieces of content - with 46 ways to share it

    Most business owners burn out on content before they get a chance to build momentum with it. You post something, it does okay, but then you’re back at square one - staring at a blank page, trying to think of the next brand new idea. It’s exhausting, and I think it’s the reason most content creators randomly ghost their audience for weeks at a time. The problem isn’t a lack of ideas, it’s that you’re treating every piece of content like you can only share it once. Take that one idea and create it in a few different formats. You get more opportunities to reach more (and different) people. You become known as the person who talks about that thing, because you’ve said it in twelve different ways instead of once and moved on. You reach people who read, people who watch, and people who listen, instead of only the ones who happen to prefer your default format. And you show up enough times for your message to really sink in, because let’s face it with the size of our attention spans these days most people need to hear something ten times before it clicks for them and they take action on it. It protects your energy too, because you’re not starting from scratch every time. You also get a chance to go deeper with follow up content, answering any questions, giving examples, going into more detail. Here’s a step by step on how to take one idea, turn it into twelve content types, and share it on 46 platforms. --- Read the show notes: https://marissarobertsarticles.substack.com/p/how-to-turn-one-idea-into-12-pieces Follow Marissa on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marissarobertsofficial YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@marissaroberts Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesimplerbusinesspodcast/ --- Ready to simplify your business?

    Simple Ways to Use Your Affiliate Links For Additional Income

    Affiliate marketing is a fantastic way to add an extra income stream to your business without a tonne of effort after the initial set up. Once your affiliate links are ready to go, they work quietly in the background, earning you extra money over time. The beauty of affiliate marketing is its compounding potential - you can add links to your content now, and as your audience and following grows, so does your income. Even better, you can go back and update older, high-performing content with affiliate links to give you an extra income boost there as well. And I’m not just talking blog posts - there are plenty of clever places to incorporate your affiliate links in ways that benefit you and your audience too. Here are my favourite ways to use affiliate links to maximise income and create more freedom in your business! --- Come chat with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠! https://www.instagram.com/marissarobertsofficial/ --- Ready to simplify your business?

    Paid vs. organic marketing - which is better? If you’re looking to grow your audience and attract high quality clients, you’ve likely asked yourself the same thing. Paid advertising seems to promise quick results, but the tech can be confusing, it can eat up your budget fast, and it doesn’t always translate to long-term relationships.  Organic marketing is a great way to build trust and engage your audience in a natural, cost-effective way, helping you to expand your reach, boost brand visibility, drive engagement and nurture meaningful connections - without the high price tag.  My guest today has built their own product based business and now coaching business through organic marketing efforts and has grown their Instagram profile to more than 50 thousand followers and their email  list to 45 thousand without ads.  Dylan Jahraus is a seasoned e-commerce entrepreneur with over 10 years experience, from corporate e-commerce to scaling e-commerce entrepreneurs. HerEtsy venture, quickly exceeded $1M in profit before expanding to Amazon and Shopify. With her experience and insights, she now helps people recognise that even these days, they can still grow their audience organically without the help of ads, and I’m so excited to chat with her and find out how. Listen in as Dylan and I talk about how to determine the right platforms to focus on for your audience, some best practices for growing your following organically, common mistakes people make when trying to grow their social media following, and Dylan's favourite techniques to convert social media followers into email subscribers!
